LBI Hosts Drive-Thru Film Festival

By Chris Lundy LONG BEACH ISLAND – The Lighthouse International Film Festival will be the fi rst fi lm festival to be held in a fully drive-in format, its organizers announced.

The event will run from Tuesday, June 16 through Saturday, June 20 in several locations.

The festival will be showing films “as they were meant to be seen – on the big screen – while keeping the health and

safety of its attendees its top priority.”

“Like all responsible New Jersey businesses and non-profits LIFF has come to realize that ‘business as usual’ is no longer an option, at this unique point in time, and that the Festival cannot be presented in its usual format this year,” said Spokesperson Christine Rooney.

“Accordingly, LIFF has committed itself to the idea of presenting the 2020 Festival in a ‘drive-in’ only format, where we would eschew our typical

indoor movie venues and move outdoors under the stars. The focus of this particular format, of course, will be public safety. It is our intention to promote our local restaurants by encouraging our attendees to order from local restaurants and encouraging safe shopping at local businesses. We have always been the kick-off event of the season and this year will be no different.”

She thanked Assemblywoman DiAnne (Film Festival - See Page 4)

Police: Turn Patriotic Music Down, Not Off

By Chris Lundy STAFFORD – The police chief issued a statement that the police did not censor patriotic music being played, but was enforcing the volume at which it was being played.

Every night for more than 60 evenings one resident on Paul Boulevard in the Beach Haven West section of town plays “God Bless America” and other songs at 7:30 p.m. to recognize front line workers. A neighbor

complained and police came out to the home.

Chief Thomas Dellane said the police were not there to shut down the music, just asking that it be turned down.

He said that there was “misinformation” posted to the Beach Haven West Community Group Facebook page that the police were shutting them down.

The chief said the music is broadcast for about 15 minutes and ends with “God Bless (Music - See Page 6)

In a departing letter, Halliday said to his colleagues, “to all police personnel, family and the community, Good morning. It’s 3:30 in the morning and I can’t sleep. I’m too excited, yet somewhat nervous thinking about how life changes for me and my family at the close of today.”

a part of the new stories to come, but that’s what you sacrifice when you make way for the new and with the new, it starts a new chapter for all,” Halliday said in his letter.

Halliday said, “for most of you that know me, I’m never without words, however, I find it hard to say farewell. I want to thank former Mayor Carl Block and retired Chief Larry Parker for providing the opportunity for me to become a member of this incredible police department in 1994. I want to thank Chief Thomas Dellane for his years of leadership starting as my senior squad member so many years ago.”

The retired officer added, “I want to thank my wife Kathy and my son Allen Zachary and my daughter Haley for all their years of support and understanding that this job had often taken time away from us all and plans that needed to be changed. After today, it will never happen again. I love you all,”

“I want to thank our community for allowing me to be your public servant. I’ve realized that a major part of this job was not about cops and robbers, although there were times it was about listening and assisting many who just needed an ear to get through some tough times in their lives,” Halliday said.

The officer added that “for each bad person I came into contact with over the years, I have met tenfold of good people which I continue to see who still offer a smile and a handshake. These were often times which were the most rewarding for me.

“To all the men and women both uniform and civilian, my sincerest thank you. My words truly can’t express the level of pride and how fortunate I feel having the honor of working with you all, both current and in the past.

“I am forever grateful and I could thank

you all individually because each person at some time has brought something special to my life, but I would bore you all because they would be the same kind words based on the memories I have,” he said.

“Congratulations to our new officers to come. Listen to your seniors, there is so much knowledge to be had and most certainly is needed in our current times. All officers, it’s your responsibility to watch over these officers coming in now and in the future. Be hard to them, train them, yet be patient so they can enjoy what it feels like to represent the Stafford uniform,” Halliday added.

The officer concluded saying he was, “a happy man with the fondest of memories.

So for 25 plus years it has been the coolest and most rewarding career/journey anyone one person could be so selfish to ask for. I hope the next 25 years are as fulfilling.”

been staying at home for weeks now. People with autoimmune disorders, the elderly are at risk and need a night out. Moms and dads need a night out. Couples need a night out.

Moreover, our proposed drive-in Festival will entail the direct involvement of several New Jersey and local vendors and service providers and will, as always, provide an economic “spark” for countless area hospitality, food and beverage, and retail businesses, just at a time when it will be really needed.”

There is a huge shortage of cultural and entertainment events due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and festival organizers hope to fill that void.

“While COVID-19 put our daily lives on hold, it also shut down the window to the alternative universe of imagination, creation, and art that is cinema. Lighthouse International Film Festival is here to reopen this window on the big screen, as part of LBIs rejuvenation,” says LIFF executive director Amir Bogen. “While the drive-in

option is being discussed in several festivals around the world, LIFF is willing to lead the way and make it happen for LBI’s amazing community and our fabulous filmmakers.”

In years past, there had been receptions and in-person Q&As. Unfortunately, this year, those events will not be possible. However, they are working on virtual screenings and virtual access to the talent.

Music:

Continued From Page 1 America.” On May 26, police got a noise complaint about it. He underscored that it was never about the choice of music but about the volume of the music.

The officer who responded found that the volume did violate the noise ordinance, he said.

However, and the chief wrote this in all caps: “At no time did the officer tell anyone that the music could not be played.” The officer asked for the volume to be turned down and issued a warning to the property owners.

“I personally love patriotic music and respect everyone’s right to listen to music as they choose. However, our noise ordinance was crafted to carefully balance the rights of people to listen to music and the right of

people to quiet enjoyment of their property,” Dellane said. “There are residents of Beach Haven West that work shift work and are sleeping at the time this music is being played. There are residents of Beach Haven West that have small children that they are putting down to sleep at the time the music is being played and there are residents who have medical conditions that are exasperated by loud noises. It is for these and other reasons that the noise ordinance restricts the volume of music that can be played.”

This is another case of people on social media not getting all the facts before they react, he said.

“I respectfully request that in the future, people take the time to ascertain accurate facts prior to rushing to judgment about the actions of our police department,” he said.

Another part of the story that Dellane said was a rumor was that a police sergeant was annoyed by the music while he was kayaking and ordered the music to be shut down.

“This is simply not true. After the property owner was advised to lower the volume of the music, he asked to speak with a supervisor.

Our police sergeant did in fact speak with the property owner about our noise ordinance and mentioned that a few days prior, he heard them playing ‘Going to the Chapel’ while he was kayaking in the bay over one mile from the property owner’s residence. The sergeant shared this information merely to illustrate to the property owner how far the sound of the music was travelling. The sergeant at no time filed a complaint or directed any officer to take enforcement action based on his observations,” the chief said.

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome By: Jessica Abraham, OT, Certified Hand Therapist, Toms River Location

Have you ever woken up with a sensation of pins and needles in your fingers? Do you find that you are dropping objects more frequently? If you answered yes to those questions, then you may be experiencing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) often starts as a general sensation of aching or weakness throughout the wrist and hand and can lead to numbness and tingling into your fingers. An increase in symptoms can be experienced as the condition progresses and may start to have an impact on your daily activities. Evidence suggests that 3% of women and 2% of men will experience carpal tunnel symptoms in their lifetime and the average age of onset is 55 or older.

To begin, let’s discuss the anatomy of the carpal tunnel. There is a small, internal space on the palm side of the wrist and this space is called the carpal tunnel. The top or roof of the carpal tunnel is formed by a ligament that runs across the wrist. The median nerve and several flexor tendons run through this tunnel. The median nerve is responsible for providing sensation to the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by excess pressure being applied to the median nerve at the wrist level. The extra pressure on the nerve can decrease the nerve’s ability to send its signal to the fingers causing a sensation of pins and needles. You can think of the median nerve as a garden hose; when you step on a hose the flow of water is decreased and when the pressure is taken off, the water can flow freely. This is the same concept with the median nerve and the extra pressure that can occur in the carpal tunnel.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: • Tingling/Numbness in the palm side of your thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers. You will not feel these symptoms in the small finger with carpal tunnel syndrome. This often occurs during prolonged gripping activities such as holding a phone or newspaper or can occur at night. Many people often wake up with the sensation of numbness in their hand and find themselves ‘shaking out’ their hand for relief.

• Weakness throughout the hand and fingers. People often report feeling clumsy or will frequently drop objects.

• Pain that radiates from the wrist down into the hand or travels up the forearm toward the shoulder.

CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS: The exact cause of CTS is typically unknown. Compression or pressure on the median nerve can happen in several ways including: • Repetitive use of hand and fingers • Keeping the wrist in a bent position for a prolonged period of time • Inflammation of the tendons that run through the carpal tunnel • Water retention • Pregnancy Research has shown that conditions such as arthritis, wrist fractures, or dislocations may cause the carpal tunnel to narrow. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, individuals with metabolic conditions, such as diabetes, are at higher risk for CTS. Women are three times more likely to experience carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms than men and it rarely affects children. According to the American Society for Surgery of the Hand, in severe cases of carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness can be permanent and there may be a loss in the muscle mass at the base of the thumb.

TREATMENT OPTIONS: There are several treatment options for CTS including occupational therapy. An occupational therapist is a skilled health professional who will evaluate your condition and how the symptoms are impacting your ability to complete your daily activities. Some treatment options include: • Wrist splinting to provide support and keep the wrist straight to reduce pressure being applied to the median nerve. Wrist splints are typically worn at night to bed to reduce symptoms that may interfere with sleep.

• Activity modification techniques to continue to participate in daily and recreational activities without increasing CTS symptoms.

• Stretching and strengthening exercises to help reduce pain and improve grip strength and function of the hand. An occupational therapist will be able to design and implement a

treatment program to assist in alleviating your symptoms.

Corticosteroid injections, non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs, and use of vitamins such as B6, may also be used in conjunction with therapy to help reduce symptoms. If conservative treatment is not successful in alleviating symptoms, carpal tunnel surgery has proven successful in alleviating CTS symptoms.

Carpal tunnel syndrome can have a significant impact on all aspects of your daily routine. Early diagnosis is important to prevent irreversible damage to the median nerve and prevent you from participating in your daily activities. At All-Care Physical Therapy, our Hand Therapist specializes in the treatment of carpal tunnel and other hand disorders. Contact your physician if you are experiencing these symptoms and ask if an Occupational Therapist at All-Care can help.

Individuals could take solace in praying with others, even if in small groups, and should have the ability to pay their final respects to loved ones when they pass.

“As Americans, we should all be thinking more broadly about the very serious national security concerns at hand. America is made vulnerable by a weakened economy that cannot afford a strong military. This would only embolden our enemies and endanger our allies.

DIABETES AND BLURRY VISION

People with diabetes can experience blurry vision that causes objects to look out of focus. It can be understated or noticeable, can change throughout the day, and can come on slowly or quickly, depending on the cause. Long-term uncontrolled diabetes can lead to high blood sugar levels that gradually damage small blood vessels. As a result of this condition, called “diabetic retinopathy,” vision becomes blurred. With shortterm blurriness in diabetics, fluid can move into and out of the eye due to high blood sugar levels, causing the lens of the eye to swell and impede focusing ability. It is crucial for diabetics to determine whether their blurred vision is due to short- or long-term uncontrolled diabetes.

Careful management of your diabetes is the best way to prevent vision loss.

If you have diabetes, see your eye doctor for a yearly eye exam with dilation — even if your vision seems fine. Pregnancy may worsen diabetic retinopathy, so if you’re pregnant, your eye doctor may recommend additional eye exams throughout your pregnancy. To schedule an appointment, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES at 732-349-5622.

Lacey Police Looks To Reduce Incidents Of DUI

By Bob Vosseller LACEY – Township Police are seeking to reduce the number of driving under the influence incidents and with that goal, began additional traffic safety patrols.

The department recently started the added patrols which will continue throughout the next several months. Officers will conduct traffic safety patrols throughout the township, designed to target specific high-risk areas and behaviors, which include, but are not limited to, DUI, speeding, texting while driving, and aggressive driving.

The department stressed that these patrols will include all areas of Lacey including West Lacey Road and Route 539.

Traffic Safety, including DUI Enforcement and Prevention, remains a top priority for the department. The danger presented to the public by motorists who choose to get behind the wheel of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is too often realized through a tragic motor

vehicle collision.

Several DUI arrests in Lacey have come as a direct result of a motor vehicle crash investigation, some crashes being fatal. In 2017, alcohol-involved crashes killed 10,874 people in the country, accounting for 29 percent of all motor vehicle traffic fatalities.

An average of one alcohol-impaired driving fatality occurs every 48 minutes.

Specially dedicated grant funds, including the Drunk Driving Enforcement Fund (DDEF), and our annual traffic safety grant provided by the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety, allows for these additional DUI/traffic safety enforcement details throughout the year.

The intent of these extra DUI/Traffic Safety Enforcement patrols is to make the roadways in Lacey Township as safe as possible for the motoring public.

Lacey police are encouraging everyone to use caution on the roadways this summer as your safety remains their top priority.

Speeding Stop Results In Drug Arrests

By Chris Lundy JACKSON – A vehicle going 25 miles over the speed limit was pulled over and police arrested the three inside on drug charges.

The stop happened on May 27 on Toms River Road, police said. Officer Robert Reiff pulled over the 2005 Chevy and thought that the driver appeared under the influence.

A search of the vehicle resulted in the seizure of a large quantity of heroin and syringes. These three were arrested: Joseph Hoover, 33, of Forked River. He was charged with possession of heroin, possession of heroin with intent to distribute, driving under the influence of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of CDS while operating a motor vehicle and other motor vehicle violations. He was released

on a summons complaint pending a court appearance.

Stephanie Hoover, 36, of Forked River. She was charged with possession of heroin, possession of heroin with the intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was released on a summons complaint pending a court appearance.

Joseph Witty, 37, of Waretown. He was charged with possession of heroin and possession of heroin with the intent to distribute. He was released on a summons complaint pending a court appearance.

Charges are merely accusations until proven in a court of law.

Merchandise and tools suspected of being stolen property were also recovered from the vehicle and the vehicle was seized pending further investigation and forfeiture proceedings.

NEW JERSEY – United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ Women United leadership group is hosting a diaper drive in order to provide a desperately needed resource to families in our community. There are many parents and caregivers in Monmouth and Ocean counties who unfortunately lack a sufficient supply of diapers for their young children to remain clean, dry and healthy.

Diapers cost an average of $80 a month for one baby, and they cannot be obtained with WIC, food stamps, or any other government program. Diaper need can be more distressing than not having enough food for their family. Parents with diaper need have also reported more difficulty with stress management and coping with trauma, which can negatively affect a child’s growth and development.

“Financial challenges existed for many families prior to the COVID-19 crisis, but now with additional obstacles such as job loss, rising costs of food and scarcity of basic necessities, they are having to make even more difficult decisions about

how their limited funds are spent,” said Kelly Fliller, Chair of United Way of Monmouth and Ocean Counties’ Women United. “Part of Women United’s mission is to improve the lives of youth and their families, so we are very happy to help supply this unmet need, especially during these uncertain and unprecedented times.”

Diapers in any size, any brand and in any amount can be donated through Women United’s Target wish list now through June 19, 2020: tgt.gifts/WomenUnitedDiaper. Diapers can also be purchased in stores and dropped off at the United Way office on June 18 from 12pm-4pm or June 19 from 9am-1pm. The office is located at 4814 Outlook Drive in Wall Township, NJ and donations can be brought to the United Way van in the back parking lot. Arrangements can also be made for curbside pick-up if needed.

For more information about the Diaper Drive, please visit uwmoc.org/ diaper-drive or contact Jackie Liguori at 848-206-2037 or jliguori@uwmoc.org.

By Bob Vosseller TRENTON − The governor announced June 15 as the date that New Jersey would be entering Phase Two of its reopening.

“Public health determines economic health and data determines dates,” Gov. Phil Murphy said on June 1.

Phase Two has been described by the state has having restrictions relaxed on activities that can easily be safeguarded. Phased-in businesses may include: • Expanded retail • Safeguarded restaurants with outdoor seating • Limited personal care • Possibly indoor dining, museums, and libraries, all with significantly reduced capacity More work activities will be allowed at physical locations only if they adhere to safeguarding and modification guidelines.

All workers who can work from home should continue to work from home.

“We have lost around 12,000 people because of the coronavirus and we know we will lose more,” he said. “We know that right now there is no cure. There is no vaccine.

“We’re already seeing the results of responsible planning. Key metrics of hospitalizations have dropped dramatically. It was only weeks ago that we feared that ICUs (intensive care units) would have run out of room but we are seeing they have plenty of equipment and room including ventilators,” Murphy said.

He added that 20,000 tests of the coronavi-

rus can occur each day. “New Jersey leads the nation in daily testing per capita due to everyone’s hard work. We will keep building to remain number one. We set and then met and exceeded them to lead the nation.”

Non-essential stores would be able to welcome back customers on June 15 inside.

“Our gyms and health clubs will be able to open at limited capacities soon and we’ll have a date for that soon,” the governor added. Salons and hair facilities may open

by June 27.

“Those workers who can work from home will be expected to keep having their workers working at home. Let’s use common sense. We still face challenges. We are still seeing more people testing positive than any other state but we are testing more,” Gov. Murphy said.

Gov. Murphy said that while the state is preparing to open up, “we cannot do it blindly.” He noted the 11,721 deaths blamed on the coronavirus as of that day.

“We are responding responsibly in the face of this pandemic and the tremendous toll it has taken in this state. In recent weeks we have been able to take our first steps on our road back with our restart and our recovery with small and meaningful steps…Steps to get all our construction officers back on the job, to allow our retail stores to serve more customers through curb side pickup starting the process of greenlighting summer day camps, to resume sports and the beaches,” Murphy said. Murphy could not yet say how Stage Two would impact the opening Motor Vehicle Commission offices in the state.

Mental Health Support During The COVID-19 Pandemic OCEAN COUNTY – The Mental Health Association in New Jersey - Ocean County has expanded community outreach with multiple new wellness initiatives, group meetings and discussion groups related to both mental health and recovery.

The event is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Toms River Public Works Garage, 1672 Church Road, Toms River.

Ocean County Freeholder Deputy Director Gary Quinn, who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Solid Waste Management said, “we want to make sure everyone’s safety is a priority as this event moves forward, and it is important that residents follow the guidelines to make this a success.”

Quinn added, “residents dropping off material will remain in their cars essentially making the collection a drive thru in order to limit contact.We want to hold this program because we feel we can do it safely and we take great pride in our environment in Ocean County, and this program helps reduce the potential for environmental damage.”

The items that can be dropped off include: aerosols, auto products, batteries, cleaning products, chemicals/pool chemicals, fire ex-

Dr. Isidore Kirsh Ph.D., F.A.A.A.

The New Normal According To Dr. Izzy New Jersey is continuing to identify new cases of COVID-19 but our “curve” will continue to flatten but the virus will remain with us for at least the remainder of the year. In my opinion, the “new normal” will include a) social distancing, b) continued use of wearing a mask, c) frequent hand washing, and d) no more hugs for a while. Telepractice will become increasing popular in all medical fields, including hearing healthcare. Remote programming of hearing aids has been available for several years, but in my opinion, the majority of our patients calling our offices cannot benefit from remote programming.

During this pandemic, due to the frequent use of wearing a mask, dozens have “lost” their hearing instruments or broke a receiver wire. Many other patients have a “dead” hearing aid and the only way to fix it is to send it back to the manufacturer. Remote programming would be a complete waste of time in these instances.

We have continued to offer “curbside services” and/or drop off services at our Toms River office. This concierge service is critical during this time of uncertainty as well as the increased importance of communication with family and friends.

As our offices begin to transition to opening again, the “new normal” will require us to scan temperatures, ask patients specific questions related to covid-19 symptoms, stagger appointments so there’s no more than two patients in our office at the same time and allow extra time to disinfect all areas once the patient has left. This “new normal” will significantly limit the total number of patients we can see but it’s absolutely critical to follow these procedures at least for the remainder of the year.

For over 30 years, Garden State Hearing & Balance Center is here to help anyone who is suffering from hearing loss and/ or can’t communicate with their loved ones because they’re hearing aid stopped working. In these times of social isolation, it’s imperative that we communicate with our loved ones. We need that connection for psychosocial and cognitive support.

If you need our help, please call us at 732-818-3610. We will be re-opening very soon!

Please stay healthy, stay home, practice social distancing and I promise you there will be a bright light at the end of the tunnel.

All the Best!

How To Get Rid Of Moths

By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.

Let me start with I’m not really a bug lover, or a tree hugger type of person.

But I don’t see the need to kill certain creatures just because they got lost and found their way into my home. I will try to trap and free certain things, depending on how big they are.

But the moths are creating marital stress. Sam is skittish about doing bug removal, but the agreement we had when we got married in the state of Florida, was that he would deal with all cockroaches and spiders, if I would deal with the snakes and mice. While there have been tense stares over the past 22 years of marriage, I will vouch for his ability to perfectly execute his husbandly tasks, lol!

Nothing was discussed about the moths. Apparently, this is my new fulltime job. We live in Colorado where every spring, there’s a situation! The migration of moths begins here and in Kansas, and f lies over our state, westward.

You can try to chase moths out of your house, but this takes patience.

Find one on your window, and put a cup over him, and then slide a sheet of paper between the cup and the glass.

Very carefully lift this, and free the moth outside. There’s one aggressive sucker is in my bathroom so I decided to make my own moth repellant spray.

The essential oils can be purchased anywhere.

Try my formula for a moth spray and spritz it in your closet, your bedroom or

kitchen, or anywhere, and it will repel them from coming into that specific area. It will scare away most bugs for that matter!

Spray every few hours. Adjust the scent to your liking. For example, add less eucalyptus and more lavender if you find my formula too zingy for you.

Don’t spray it directly on your clothes.

Moth Repellant Spray Water 4 ounces Essential oil of Cedar - 20 - 30 drops Essential oil of Lavender - 10 - 20 drops Essential oil of Peppermint - 5 - 10 drops Essential oil of Eucalyptus - 10 - 20 drops Optional: Citronella Essential Oil - 5 drops Directions: Pour water into the spray bottle and add the essential oils. If you don’t like the scent, add something to it that you do like, such as Wild Orange or Lemon essential oil. Spray as desired into the room, or window sills, door frames and areas where you see a moth.

In closing, there are many ways to get rid of moths. You definitely don’t want these things laying eggs in your home because when they hatch, you’ll be faced with a big infestation. They can’t live more than a few days without feeding on plants or leaves. Another idea is to buy fresh rosemary or thyme herb, and bundle it, and lay it in the closet, or the bathroom because the moths won’t like that and they’ll stay away. For that matter, you can add those two essential oils to your moth spritzer.

By Bob Vosseller OCEAN COUNTY – Testing hours will be reduced starting on the fi rst week of June at the Ocean County College’s test center for residents testing for the coronavirus.

The drive thru testing site on the Toms River campus will continue to be done on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but the hours will be changed to 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. “We have been watching the appointment schedule and reviewing the number of tests being done the days we are there,� Ocean County Public Health Coordinator Daniel Regenye said..

He added, “at this time we are comfortable in reducing the hours and we can still meet the testing needs of our residents. It remains imperative that people follow the requirements to be tested at the college.�

Regenye said. “We do not want anyone to show up at this testing site without following the requirements we have put in place. We are not going to do any health screenings at the site. It is just for testing for the virus.�

The testing requirements remain the same for the site. Ocean County Health Department officials are reminding residents of the requirements to be tested include: • You must be an Ocean County resident and have identification. • You must have a healthcare practitioner script. • You must make an online appointment at www.ochd.org. • You must be symptomatic. • Entry to the college site is from the Hooper Avenue entrance.

Regenye said that any practitioner (including Nurse Practitioner, Advanced Practice Nurse, Medical Doctor, Physician Assistant etc.) who has “prescriptive� privileges in New Jersey can write a script for COVID testing, it does not necessarily have to be a physician.

He stressed that with many health care providers currently doing telemedicine, individuals do not need to see a physician in person to obtain the necessary script.

The hospitals assisting in staffing the testing site - both Hackensack Meridian Health and RWJ Barnabas Healthcare System - have telemedicine opportunities to assist Ocean County residents obtain the required healthcare practitioner script before traveling to the testing center.

The telemedicine services at the hospitals can be accessed at Hackensack Meridian Health (Ocean Medical Center, Southern Ocean Medical Center) hackensackmeridian health.org/covid19/ RWJ Bar nabas Healthcare System (Community Medical Center, Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus) RWJBHtelemed.org use code RWJBH15

Regenye said that many pharmacies and other testing sites for asymptomatic people have opened throughout the state with some located in Ocean County. “While we remain a testing site solely for residents that have shown symptoms of Covid 19, we are recommending others who may want to be tested that are asymptomatic and do not have a script or are looking to have the antibody test done can access testing site information from various websites,� Regenye said.

Two websites providing this information are: covid19.nj.gov/pages/testing and covid19.nj.gov/pages/testing#test-sites.

Around 4,500 COVID-19 tests have been performed at the drive thru testing site at Ocean County College.

Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari said, “this drive thru testing site has been a cooperative effort by a number of agencies. It has gone very smoothly.�

Partners in the testing site include U.S. Rep. Chris Smith, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Ocean County Office of Emergency Management under Sheriff Michael G. Mastronardy, the Ocean County Health Department, RWJ Barnabas Health Southern Region and Hackensack Meridian Health and Ocean County College. “Residents remain in their cars and medical personnel perform a nasal swab at the OCC site,� Ocean County Freeholder Gerry P. Little said. Little is liaison to the Ocean County Health Department.

Little added, “we are working to make this convenient and more importantly safe for the public, the health care providers on site and staff.�

As of May 28, Ocean County has recorded 8,527 cases of the coronavirus.

Regenye emphasized that anyone getting the test should continue self-isolating after receiving it. “If you have symptoms, you should be returning home immediately after being tested and continue self- quarantining. If you have the coronavirus you will be spreading it if you are not isolating,� Regenye said.

Once the test has been performed, it’s anticipated to take about three to five days for results to be returned. “All the results will be available on the BioReference Laboratories Patient Portal: Bioreference.com/patients/ and through the Ocean County Health Department residents will be notified whether they test positive or negative,� Regenye added.

T he most com mon sy mpt om s of COVID-19 are fever, fatigue, a dry cough and shortness of breath. Ocean County has also established a process to ensure that people with test results are informed in a timely manner and provided with guidance, consultation and next steps.

R.C. Shea & Assoc.

Inside The Law Reviewing Your Estate Planning Documents In Light Of The Coronavirus By: Marc S. Galella, Esq., and Robert C. Shea, Esq. of R.C. Shea & Associates With the coronavirus in the headlines today, a lot of clients are asking whether they need to update their Estate Planning documents which include Last Wills and Testaments, Powers of Attorney and Living Wills. In general, Estate Planning documents do not have to be revised because of age. Rather, they need to be revised when they no longer do what you need them to do. As important as it is to have these Estate Planning documents, it is equally important to keep them up to date.

For example, are the persons who you named to inherit under you will still the persons that you want to inherit? Do you still want all of your children to inherit equally if you made gifts to one of your children during your lifetime? Did you provide for a trust for the benefit of your then minor children and they are now all over the age of 18 years? Do the persons that you named in your Will as the Executor still have the ability to perform the tasks associated with being an Executor? Do you have grandchildren that you want to name in your Will? If those grandchildren are under the age of 18 years, do you want their inheritance held by another person until they reach the age of 18, or maybe even older? Do you have a beneficiary who is receiving government assistance that would be disqualified by receiving an inheritance from you?

Do you have a Power of Attorney? If so, do the persons named in the Power of Attorney still have the capability to perform the functions as your Attorney in Fact?

Robert C. Shea Esq.

Marc S. Galella Esq.

Does your Power of Attorney list alternates in case the persons you named to act for you are not capable of acting on your behalf?

If you have a Living Will, have you looked at it recently to make sure the decisions you previously made as to life sustaining treatment are still what you want now. Has there been any change in your medical condition that is different now as opposed to when you made you Living Will? Are the persons you named in your Living Will as your Health Care Representatives still the persons that you want? Are they capability of acting in that capacity?

We normally suggest that you take out your Estate Planning documents once a year and read them over to make sure that those documents still do what you remember that they did and what you need them to do now. However, in this time of medical concerns, it is a good idea to review your documents now to make sure you are protected in the event that you should become ill. We further suggest that you read your Estate Planning documents whenever there is a major event in your life such as a birth, death, divorce, change in financial status (you or your beneficiaries) or a change in mental capacity.

The attorneys of R. C. Shea and Associates have over 100 years of combined experience in reviewing and preparing Estate Planning documents. Please call us to go over your Estate Planning needs.

Our clients’ success is our greatest reward.

AROUND THE JERSEY SHORE Ocean County Foot & Ankle Offering In-Person & Telemedicine Appointments

OCEAN COUNTY – Ocean County Foot & Ankle Surgical Associates, P.C., with locations in Ocean and Burlington Counties, has announced that it is now offering limited in-person appointments, as well as telemedicine visits.

“As we continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic, we are committed to maintaining the health and safety of our patients and healthcare professionals by following all necessary guidelines,” said Dr. Russell D. Petranto, D.P.M., F.A.C.F.A.S., Managing Partner of Ocean County Foot & Ankle Surgical Associates. “To best serve the community, our offices are open and we are seeing patients in need of acute care – including wound patients and trauma patients, and we are also conducting telemedicine visits for

those individuals that this type of service is warranted. Looking to the future, we are strategically increasing patient visits and staffing availability as appropriate through recommendations and guidance from our healthcare experts.”

Until Ocean County Foot & Ankle Surgical Associates is able to fully reopen, Dr. Petranto wants patients to know that they are still here for them now and in the days ahead. “We will get through this together, one step at a time, and we will be stronger than ever before,” he said.

Ocean County Library S.A.I.L. Challenge Goes Virtual

TOMS RIVER – Social distancing requirements stemming from COVID-19 mean a new, creative way for teens to earn summer community service hours through the Ocean County Library. The Service and Achievement in the Library (S.A.I.L.) Challenge 2020 is entirely in cyberspace.

Online applications will be accepted through June 28. The program begins June 29 and ends Aug.t 15. Teens who have completed Grade Seven or higher can volunteer time and talents, learn new skills, and meet new friends.

S.A.I.L. endows teens with valuable life skills, such as punctuality, team-building and training. Volunteers have been Tech Buddies to help patrons with electronic devices, created children’s activities under a Librarian’s guidance in the Teens Take Over program, assumed clerical duties, crafted book displays, and much more

Participants are also encouraged to generate new activity ideas, discuss ways for the Library to serve teen community needs, review books, and create virtual displays.

Volunteer hours are awarded for each activity badge earned, through OCL’s Beanstack application. Those who complete all badge activities earn 30 volunteer hours and a S.A.I.L. Certificate of Completion. Volunteer hours are valuable to many civic organizations, and represent leadership skills when placed on college or job applications..

Interested teens should have means of Internet access and valid Ocean County Library cards and email addresses. Digital cards can be obtained through the online card application form. Parents or guardians are also asked to submit contact information and to grant online permission.

By Chris Lundy TRENTON – The Turnpike Authority issued a plan to increase tolls throughout the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Tu r npike which will include improvements in Ocean County and beyond.

The tolls will increase by 27 percent on the Parkway and 36 percent on the Turnpike for passenger vehicles. Commercial vehicles will see an increase as well. The tolls are expected to go into effect Sept. 13.

In Ocean County, the Barnegat toll will increase from $1.50 to $1.90 and the Toms River toll will increase from 75 cents to 95 cents. The tolls on the ramps in Waretown, Lacey, Berkeley, Lakewood and Brick will increase from 50 cents to 65 cents.

The tolls will help pay for improvement projects throughout these two roads.

Locally, there is a proposed change to Parkway miles 80-83, in Toms River and South Toms River.

The Authority said four continuous la nes i n each d i rect ion a re needed between Interchanges 80 and 83 “to accommodate future traffic demands.”

Full left and right shoulders will also be added.

This project is expected to cost $75 million.

Projects throughout the state are digital message boards ($80 million); a paving program ($550 million); lighting ($50 million); replacing underground storage tanks with aboveground ones ($10 million); medians ($35 million); fiberoptic lines ($100 million); ramp widening ($20 million); software and hardware ($400 million); a system to tell trucks if they are too tall for an overpass ($25 million); fixing/replacing 18 bridges/decks ($2.86 billion); d rainage pipe replacement

($250 million); and many improvements to specific areas.

Com ments about the capit al plan and the proposed changes to the toll schedule may be submitted by email to NJTAPublicComments@njta.com or sent to Executive Director, New Jersey Turnpike Authority, 1 Turnpike Plaza, P.O. Box 5042, Woodbridge, NJ, 07095.

Local officials have already expressed their displeasure.

The 9 th District legislators Senator Christopher Connors, Assemblyman Br ia n Ru mpf a nd A ssembly woma n DiAnne Gove have called on Governor Phil Murphy to veto the minutes of any meetings held by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) and the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) which approve the toll increases.

“Please be advised that in March our Delegation w rote to Depar t ment of Transportation Commissioner Gutierrez- Scaccetti, NJTA Executive Director Keller and SJTA Authority Executive Stephen Dougherty calling on the officials to refrain from imposing the toll increases in view of the economic and financial hardships that would ensue for commuters and businesses. Further, we emphasized that the toll increases will have a chilling effect and likely exacerbate an already precarious economic situation created by COVID-19,” they wrote.

They also argued that the timing of the hearings was inappropriate. While residents are largely focused on the pandemic, people were not aware of the potential increases.

“Trenton should be focused on alleviating financial hardships, not increasing the cost of living and doing business in this profoundly difficult time for our state and nation,” they said.

Local Elks Lodges To Observe Flag Day

NEW JERSEY – Local Elks Lodges throughout the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Panama Canal, will celebrate Flag Day on June 14.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is the only fraternal organization to require a formal observance of Flag Day. In July 1908 the Elks Grand Lodge provided for the nationwide observance of Flag Day on June 14 each year making it mandatory for each subordinate lodge.

June 14 was officially established as Flag Day by a proclamation by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. It did not become a national observance until 1949 when President Harry Truman, an Elks member, was inspired by his lodge in Independence

Missouri to sign an act of congress to dedicated June 14 to the symbol of the country.

The Elks Lodge has nationally has made more than $14 billion in donations since its inception 152 years ago. Last year the Elks donated approximately $350 million in cash gifts to make communities better places to live.

It is one of the premiere organizations in the U.S. and there are more than 1, 900 Elks Lodges across the country with a total membership nearing 800,000 Elks members who must be American citizens who are at least 21 years of age and must believe in god.

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast For the week of JUNE 6 - JUNE 12

By Jeraldine Saunders

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Keep your temper on a tight leash in the week ahead even when it’s tempting to let it loose. You may be happiest when working as a team with some friendly people, but be discreet and avoid being too playful.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you can’t win a war of wits, you may try to compete with your wallet. In the week ahead you may consider casually spending money just to prove a point. Avoid the temptation to please others no matter the cost.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Handling fastpaced activities and results-driven people may deplete your storehouse of social skills in the week ahead. Take a second look at bills, emails and proposals, as you might miss the fine print.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): To make money, sometimes you must spend money. However, during the upcoming week you might notice that expenditures outweigh the benefits. You may suffer from an illusion that you are in total control.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Once you have a goal in mind, it may be difficult to stop thinking about it. Avoid any relentless quest for now, as this may offend friends or partners who feel left out of the equation. Be energetic but not headstrong this week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the week ahead, keep your sights fixed on achieving major long-term goals even when new ideas, desires and distractions crop up. Don’t accept vague answers or ask misleading questions when money is involved.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your head might not understand what your heart already knows. At some point during the upcoming week you might realize that one of your best ideas was a mere fantasy. Don’t take a casual flirtation too seriously.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your warmth and friendliness are potent tonics best used in small doses as this week unfolds. Focus on finding longterm solutions to temporary financial problems.

Don’t be too proud to ask for advice or guidance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You probably know best when it comes to handling your resources as this week unfolds. Some people may urge you to spend today and pay tomorrow, but you have a long-term vision of prosperity to bank on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your generosity knows no bounds, but someone else may count on that. A co-worker or acquaintance may inadvertently cause you financial hardship. In the week ahead, remember “neither a borrower nor a lender be.�

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone in your intimate circle could rub you the wrong way during the week to come. Abrasive individuals in the workplace could put you on your guard as well.

Don’t take criticism personally but see the lesson.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Staging an intervention in an effective way may require all your diplomatic skills and your gentlest management. You may find yourself dealing with anger issues in the week ahead when someone doesn’t get their way.
